THE BUZZ: Actvision’s Call of Duty: Elite service has been experiencing login issues ever since it launch on Monday, however the company has assured fans that it is making good progress with repairs.

“We are being challenged by a response beyond any of our expectations on day one,” said Jamie Berger, Vice President of Activision Digital. “But we’re making good headway.” He has assured gamers that the team has managed to increase the number of users that can simultaneously access the service and will continue to do so.

EGM’s TAKE: Every new system has to go through these issues, especially when hit by an unexpected number of new users.

Matthew Bennett finally got his big break with EGM three years ago, following years of volunteer work for various sites. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
